All Radios tuned into the Sports at Berlin Were yesterday listening for our home boy to win On the mark, get set, then a gun blast Revved listeners never knew he got out real fastLeg hit No.1 But he was not thrown Didn’t stumble or slow down, his preparedness had grownChampionship medal was waiting up thereHe reached deep into his heart and stepped up his gearA new swiftness caught the commentator’s eyeMy ears almost burst when she called out our guyPeople screamed and Ryan seemed to hearIt was so close at the finish he dipped, then silence everywhereOur guy waited patiently but we at home chanted Ryan Ryan National Champion 110 hurdler ran 13.14 and is now A World Champion

Jamaican’s are still celebrating and with good cause. The only thing that now concerns me is, in the same way the IAAF subjected South African athlete, Caster Semenya to gender verification battery of test , including the humiliating strip, search and prod, why kind of test are they going to order for this ET.

Competitions have shown young horses to runOutrageously fast when the race has begunLike a bullet shot from a fired gun They dart around the track until the race is won

Just as the fierce shaking comes and goesOr tremors unsettle the most stabled toesLike seismic waves make buildings juxtapose The quake shakes faster than anyone knows

Violent burst of unharnessed electricity Over and over to scorch those in proximityLike the flash of light through the galaxyThe lightning spreads faster than your eyes can see

But he’s no horse though he runs like a coltOther athletes claimed tremors like the track took a jolt Lots liken his speed to having a lightning voltThis 19.19 in the 200m could only be ran by Usain Bolt
